FYI – Flash Player doesn’t seem to be working… I tried to play it but it shut off after 3 seconds. Thanks.

Hmm…interesting, you are right. Thanks for the heads up. We’ll start working on it and see if we can’t get that fixed right up here shortly.
Spencer Fornaciari

The problem has been fixed and it is now working.

I enjoyed the discussion. Abortion is a sensitive issue & even though I differ in viewpoint from most of you, I appreciate the attempts from most of you to be objective.

If anyone is interested, here is a site that exposes a lot of the corruption in the abortion industry: http://liveaction.org

Yeah, we tried not to get too political with it since we aren’t a platform for political discussion, but tried to focus more on the representation in the film.

Have you seen the film? If so how did you like it?
Scott

No – I hadn’t heard of it until you guys did the roundtable. That topic is sensitive to me so it doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy.
Spencer Fornaciari

Totally understandable. I will say that the film is pretty fair in lampooning both sides of the issue so it doesn’t come across is a political statement.
